Last Sun Dance

Bouldering, fitness and a bar under one roof

Last Sun Dance is an independent bouldering gym on Felnex Close in east Leeds, run by Northern Gyms Ltd. Alongside the bouldering walls it has a full fitness gym, a café and bar serving coffee and draught beer, a lounge with a free pool table, and a single panoramic padel court.

The climbing

The walls are bouldering only, with problems from beginner level up, and new problems go up every week. The gym hosted the 2024 British Boulder Championships, run by the BMC, which brought 120 of Britain's best boulderers to its competition wall over two days.
